I just emailed Tim Wilson as well. I don't expect a response (since Andre didn't get one), but I wanted to cover that base before making further inquiries. I am of the opinion that edu-sig could be a valuable resource for us, and we ought to do what we can to bring it back on-line.
I'm going to email the PSF list to ask who I can contact about perhaps taking over from Tim. Thanks!
